The Triple Helix at Arizona State University is part of an international non-profit undergraduate organization spanning 27 chapters on five continents and involving over 800 students from universities around the world. Our overall goal is to produce one of the highest quality undergraduate publications possible, The Science in Society Review, which showcases the voices of undergraduate students on some of the most pressing issues in the connections between science and society. Last semester, The Triple Helix at Arizona State University published its eighth issue of The Science in Society Review, an academic achievement which demonstrates the collective effort of many contributing writers, editors, and publication staff.

The Science in Society Review is a journal written by undergraduate students for undergraduate students. It provides a comprehensible bridge between students who are knowledgeable about science and those who might be interested in science but are unfamiliar with challenging terminology. The journal production begins with abstract submissions from interested undergraduate students toward the end of the spring semester. Our editing staff selects the most promising abstracts and informs the writers, who immediately begin working on their first drafts. The first drafts are submitted at the beginning of summer, edited by our dedicated team of associate editors, and returned to the writers. We repeat this process for the second drafts, examining citations and improving readability because we believe that repeated editing cycles enables us to publish the best undergraduate academic research possible.

The third drafts are sent to the International Editor-in-Chief at Harvard University to ensure consistency among articles from university to university, returned to the writers, and the final drafts are submitted to the International Feature Pool, where other Triple Helix chapters select articles to publish in their journals. For example, for this most recent issue of Science and Society Review, our editing staff selected articles from Cambridge and Brown, among others, and articles from our undergraduate writers were selected and published by Cambridge, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, Harvard, and the University of Melbourne.

Once all articles are selected, our publication staff formats the articles into a professional journal, complete with appropriate images and pulled quotes. Additionally, they designed advertisements for the Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics, our main sponsoring organization, the Table of Contents page, and the Message from the Chapter President and Chapter News sections. The finished InDesign file is submitted to a magazine publisher and 1000 copies of the journal are printed on professional glossy paper and distributed to interested students. (For more information, we encourage you to read the most recent issue of the Science and Society Review, which is available for download at www.asutriplehelix.org/journals.)

The Science in Society Review journal is the culmination of hundreds of hours of writing, editing, and formatting by countless undergraduate students. Publishing the journal requires strict adherence to deadlines and extensive coordination by members of The Triple Helix at Arizona State University. The amount of responsibility by contributing writers, editors, and publication staff throughout the process is staggering and impressive. Students must be engaged with the journal production for many months beforehand and remain engaged through every subsequent production cycle. And we are extremely proud of our achievement. Our most recent issue of The Science in Society Review features articles on such interdisciplinary topics as wastewater wetlands, toddler aggression, and unmanned aerial vehicles, all of which are interesting and well-researched. Ultimately, we believe that the Science and Society Review is one of the strongest examples of academic achievement, engagement, and responsibility at Arizona State University.
